If tapas and international food for a trendy crowd is what you're looking for, this is your spot. Picnic has won a name for its cosmopolitan cuisine, a global fusion feast, featuring everything from fried green tomatoes, grilled octopus and hamburgers to coca bread  with escalivada (smokey grilled vegetables). The restaurant's cubist bar, however - which stretches out its branches to seat more diners - is the ideal place for branch, which is indeed among the best in Barcelona, with Mexican chilaquiles, salmon, French toast and the tastiest pulled pork sandwich in the Born, and possibly beyond.. A bar that, paradoxically cures hangovers. Bar and Restaurant Picnic Placa Comerc 1 08030 Barcelona W:   www.picnic-restaurant.com

If you want a trip into the gastronomic stratosphere, the bar at Dos Paillos awaits you, credit card reader at the ready. It may look like a regular local tapas bar, but the dishes created behind the bar by chef Albert Raurich - formerly of internationally reputed El Bulli - and his team, are an incredibly sophisticated take on the finest Asian cuisine. First-timers are advised to order the tasting menu and sit back to enjoy the show: watching the precise choreography of the cooks at work from a front-row seat is worth the price of admission on its own.

With cooler weather on the way, it'll soon be time for an intravenous injection from one of Ramen-Ya Hiro's giant bowls of noodles.  This is the best specialist '  ramen'  joint in Barcelona, and it's not for the faint of stomach at their tiny bar they serve cauldrons of steaming broth with meat, vegetable and delicious ' ramen'  noodles, demanding to be slurped as noisily as possible. It's essential to get there at least half an hour before the sign says, they're open if you want to find a seat, you'll need samurai sword skills to get in otherwise.
